Not sure what action learning is? Imagine having a team of inspiring coaches helping you with the hard stuff – that’s what it’s like to be in an action learning ‘set’ or group. It’s perfect for those looking for peer support, encouragement and a fresh perspective.

Through RE:SET, you’ll work with other artists/freelancers in your ‘set’, helping each other wrestle with the impact Covid-19 is having on your careers and businesses.

Guided by one of the hub team, you’ll explore each other’s key challenges and opportunities and unlock new solutions and insights.

RE:SET runs from late July to October, and is free to join. Applications close 12 July, and you can find out more on their website.
